Just when Zheng Ke was carefully preparing the food, the next day came quietly.

The next day, the-blue's Players' Lounge.

Nakahide hata rubbed his hands and felt sweat oozing from his palms.

The second round of the knockout round was even more brutal than the first.

Just an hour and a half ago, the first game was declared over. Cheng Huaizhi won the final victory of the game with a score of 5:0.

Zhongying Hata and Cheng Huaizhi passed by in the corridor of the players' lounge. The light smile on Cheng Huaizhi's face, as well as the confidence from the heart, made Hata-Zhongying full of pressure.

If he wins this match, his opponent will be Cheng Huaizhi, but can he really beat him?

For the first time, Nakaei Hatatake had doubts about his own strength.

No, it should be fine...... I've been learning cooking with Mr. Nagi for five years, so there must be hope to beat Cheng Huaizhi, as long as-

Just play normally in today's game and beat Catherine.

Thinking of Catherine, Hata Zhongying's heart sneered, why is this woman standing at the top of the world's second-year students? I thought that I would not have a chance to fight her, but now this game can be regarded as proving to the world that his time has come.

Thinking of this, there was an indescribable excitement in Hata's heart.

"Tanaka, it's your turn. The staff opened the door and woke up Hata Chuei, who was in a fantasy.

"Well, okay. ”

Nakaei Hata picked up the knife box and followed the staff out of the room, and came to the entrance of the contestant's passage, where a girl wearing a white chef's uniform and a ponytail was standing at the entrance.

"Catherine. Hata said in a low voice.

Catherine glanced back at Nakaei Hata, then turned her head again.

Hata Chuei didn't get angry either, but walked to a position parallel to Catherine, "You are my first target in this competition, and then, face Zheng Ke in the final." However, in tomorrow's game, Zheng Ke may be eliminated, right? Well, it's really a pity. ”

At the end of speaking, the corners of Hata's mouth curled up, and a chuckle appeared on his face.

Catherine gave Nakahide Hata, "Idiot." ”

Hata-Zhongying was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned hideous, "Let you be proud for a while now, the competition is over, and food lovers all over the world will see the ugliness of your failure." ”

Catherine snorted coldly, her eyes continued to look at the arena, and the hostess had already begun to introduce the contestants to the audience.

"Now, let's invite the next round of contestants, one is Catherine from Lanji!"

The audience immediately burst into cheers, and the loud sound echoed in the empty arena for a long time.

Catherine took the lead on the stage and bowed slightly to the audience around her, and the audience once again burst into warm applause.

"Now, let's welcome another contestant, Nakahide Hata, from Togetsu Gakuen. ”

The applause at the scene was sparse, and the scene when Catherine appeared on the scene was a world of difference.

Even if Catherine is the host, this ...... The difference is too big, right?

Nakaei Hata stepped onto the arena depressedly and bowed around, in exchange for a round of applause.

"The second match of the quarterfinals, the title of the game is Ushio, the duration is three hours, the game starts now!"

As soon as the host's voice fell, the electronic bell on the big screen immediately rang.

Catherine quickly bowed to Hata, and before Hatara could react, she turned around and walked towards her console, leaving Hata standing stupidly in the center of the arena.

What's going on? Why is it moving so fast?

Nakahide Hata was a little confused, but the audience around him quickly made him understand why.

"Here we go again. ”

"It's really unqualified, everyone else saluted you, and you didn't say anything. ”

"Disappointing, the Japanese are too arrogant, the same as the Oriental man of yesterday. ”

"Look, Catherine's face is ugly, she must be very sad. ”

"Don't be sad Catherine, we will always support you!"

Nakaei Hata's mouth opened, and there was no way to explain it - he was really yin by Catherine.

In the VIP seat, Milne, who saw this scene, showed a smug smile. Most people think that Catherine is just a good baby, but her well-behaved will only show to her friends, and as for the people she hates, she will still have some little pranks.

"It seems that Catherine has a bad relationship with this player. Natalie looked at Catherine, who had already started cooking, and said with some concern.

"If it's not good, it's not good...... Students of Yuanyue Academy,There's no need to be afraid of Lanji Academy.。 Milne said nonchalantly.

Nakaei Hata came to his console very depressed, and at the same time swore in his heart that he would definitely win over Catherine!

He took out the oxtail, grabbed the boning knife again, quickly cut the cow bone into small pieces, and then put it in the sink, rinsed it repeatedly to wash away the bloody smell on the oxtail, and then put the washed oxtail in a small bowl for later use.

Then, Hata picked up another pan, heated it slightly, poured the prepared flour into the pan, and stir-fried repeatedly, and the flour in the pan soon became brown.

Watching Nakaei Hata pour the brown flour into the small bowl, Natalie didn't understand a little and asked Milne beside her, "What is this young man doing?"

"Fried flour. When the flour is stir-fried, the flavor of the wheat becomes more intense, and it can also be used to prepare the sauce. Milne explained.

"Sauce?"

"Yes. Sauce is often used in oriental cuisine, while sauce is used in French cuisine to add strength to the dish. ”

"So, he's using oriental food?" asked Natalie.

"Not necessarily. Milne watched as Nakaei Hata put the rinsed oxtail neatly on the baking sheet, and shook his head gently, "It should still be Western food." ”

On the other side, Catherine also began to marinate the beef with the processed oxtail along with seasoned vegetables such as red wine, pepper, herb bunches, celery and carrots.

After taking care of this, Catherine also gasped a little, and then began to cook the sauce.

Yuji Iwai's brows furrowed as he watched the game and looked at the screen of his notebook.

It's night in Japan right now, so the number of people watching the game is very large, and many people are leaving messages on Twitter, and Yuji Iwai can only tweet the situation one by one.

"@岩井老师, what's the atmosphere like now?

Yuji Iwai glanced at Nakaei Hata, and although the game had just started, he could already see the sweat on Nakaei Hata's forehead through the big screen.

He followed Nakaei Hata's gaze to Catherine, and suddenly an extremely familiar atmosphere permeated the arena. is the same as yesterday, Que Zhengqing's cuisine is the same, but not so sharp.

Rich scents continue to escape from Catherine's countertop, along the nasal cavity, and into the body.

It's a beautiful taste.
